Grilled corn, avocado, and tomato salad with honey lime dressing

This salad is pretty amazing and I've decided to start using this dressing on everything I eat.

Ingredients:
1 pint grape tomatoes
1 ripe avocado
2 ears of fresh sweet corn

Honey lime dressing:
Juice of 1 lime
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp honey
sea salt and pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
dash of cayenne pepper

Directions:
Remove husks from corn and grill over medium heat for 10 minutes, or if you're lazy like me, just stir fry some frozen corn.  Whisk all the ingredients for the dressing together.  Combine the sliced tomatoes, avocado, and grilled corn with the dressing and mix gently so everything is combined but you don't mash the avocados.  Let sit for 10-15 minutes to let the dressing soak in.

PS Heidi - I just added some quinoa to the salad because obviously I always have to make weird customizations and I thought it would make it more filling (plus didn't add the avocado out until lunchtime so it wouldn't get brown) and just had a delicious lunch out of it.

  1. This salad is amazing. I'm not too keen on the addition of the quinoa, but I can see how it would bulk it up and change its purpose.
